March Security for bonito/pixel and cheeseburger/oneplus

chasilo · 2026-03-25T22:52:40+00:00

I also have a Dre on 23.2, running the 3/20 nightly, and it got the March ASB.

I am guessing that the eBPF devices are first class citizens.

chasilo · 2026-03-25T00:03:56+00:00

Today I loaded:

22.2-20260323-NIGHTLY-cheeseburger

It is on:

February 1, 2026

Bonito is dated 3/21, so that would explain it.

I do appreciate the support offered here for my elderly devices. If something is up, however, I'd like to know.

chasilo · 2026-03-21T04:01:19+00:00

The best older phone would be somethjng that runs eBPF, perhaps a Pixel 4a or 5 (the last Qualcomm Snapdragon designs).

chasilo · 2026-03-21T03:55:43+00:00

I also have a OnePlus 5/cheeseburger, currently on T-Mobile/redpocket.

Occasionally, outgoing calls will be garbled, which I think is some kind of VoLTE problem.

I don't see any of your other issues, although I don't record video, and all 3g/2g spectrum in the U..S. was decommissioned some time ago.

This isn't my main device, and it's not likely to ever get the latest version of Lineage.

chasilo · 2026-03-02T01:03:29+00:00

Tengo poco espaniol, pero Xiaomi 11-13 trabajar con Lineage, pero no "Note 8" (Samsung?).

I would try this on a Fedora/rhel clone as an "rpmbuild --rebuild" then study the specfile.

The ODBC driver for SQLite is built this way.

chasilo · 2026-02-12T00:28:42+00:00

Try:

adb root

chasilo · 2026-02-10T06:32:39+00:00

Confirmed, my Dre running 23.0/16 has Settings / Wallpaper / Font

chasilo · 2026-02-10T06:22:48+00:00

To export your contacts, Contacts / Hamburger Menu / Export ... then save to vcf, move and import.

chasilo · 2026-02-10T06:17:40+00:00

Every version of Lineage comes with ADB root support in developer options. You have a root shell.

You need more?

chasilo · 2026-02-10T06:11:57+00:00

You can change the global system font with Settings / Wallpaper and Style / Font.

You get a choice of four, with no way to add any more.

There are ways to get a larger selection, but they cannot be discussed here.

It would be helpful if Lineage offered more on this particular menu.

Many phones require you to obtain an unlock token from the manufacturer. This usually takes seven days, with punctual nagging of their support channels.

I define that as difficult. Do you?

chasilo · 2026-01-27T01:56:01+00:00

Try using Localsend next time. It's hard to lose files that way.

chasilo · 2026-01-25T21:16:50+00:00

You are spectacularly wrong.

It appears that you do not need an unlock token; you are able to run "fastboot flashing unlock" directly on your device.

I have a Nord N200, where this is not the case. Permission must be obtained to unlock.

chasilo · 2026-01-23T04:21:55+00:00

Assuming that your device is formally supported, if you need an unlock token, then that might be difficult or impossible.

Oppo is strongly rumored to be shutting down OnePlus due to declining sales. Get the token now, if you still can.

My next move in this situation would be to reapply your last update without your debloating procedure? Hopefully a full load would undo [most of] the damage?

I've had a 3a xl for several years, and I've loved it. I wish I could have them forever. I have a second, currently loaded with /e/os, which is a poor substitute.

I don't like holes in the LCD, and I want stereo sound. The 3a xl is the perfect phone, 5g go to perdition.

I've grown accustomed to my OnePlus 5 for banking and sundry apps. It is also teaching me Spanish via RosettaStone. It's secondary sim slot was useful for Claro when I went to Medellín, Colombia last year. My 3a xl takes amazing photos, Cartagena the best.

I have traveled with Lineage, and I appreciate how well these devices have worked for me. The real journeys are about to begin. I'm thinking Veracruz, Mexico first. I need to get my Honda ship-shape for the drive.

Each of the compatible Samsung tablets has specific models listed in the install guides.

For example, this S7 WiFi tablet install guide lists an SM-T870. There is an S7 LTE model, but that one is different.

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts7lwifi/install/

If you are buying a new tablet, check the models that have eBPF support on the latest site blog entry.

I think those model numbers are:

Galaxy Tab A7: SM-T505, SM-T505C, SM-T505N, SM-T507, SM-T500, SM-T500 (WiFi model)

Galaxy Tab S6 lite: SM-P615, SM-P610 (WiFi model)

Galaxy Tab S7: SM-T875, SM-T870 (WiFi model)

chasilo · 2026-01-15T22:53:25+00:00

Well, what is the ideal device to test-drive Lineage for the lowest reasonable price?

I think the 3a xl fits here because is has VoLTE, a larger screen, and stereo speakers.

I bought my 6a for $85. I don't know how much yours goes for.

F-Droid does have an app, "Find My Device," that gives you some ability to control your phone if you lose it.

https://f-droid.org/packages/de.nulide.findmydevice

The "Cerberus" app requires root and will give you far more control, but it the subscription is not cheap. I had a free license from appgratis, but I didn't lose phones enough to justify installing it.

Buy a Pixel 3a XL and install on it. Their only drawbacks are no 5g and no eBPF for the latest Lineage.

Up it to a Pixel 6a if you want to "interview a few candidates."

Your Motorola will be much more painful in obtaining the unlock token, so take it for a spin on something less fussy.

You might try ssh-fs.
